Silenrieux Joseph Spelt Ale

Brewed by Silenrieux
Style: Specialty Grain
Silenrieux, Belgium

Old bottle -- nearly two years old. Light, interesting aroma. Big carbonation. Grainy taste -- wheat and slightly of maize. Intriguing flavor, but not one I would repeatedly seek out

Very nice! Not so strong aroma, but a delicate one with malty wheat-like notes. Fresh tasting with a complex, yet delicate profile. Tart finish, almost on the sour side.

Bottle. Huge gusher - then after cleaning up the walls of the room... light golden beer with a big white head. Light spice and orange citrus aroma with a bit of wheat. Light wheat-like flavor with lots of spice and orange citrus. Big carbonation. medium-light body. Lingering citrus and spice. Refreshing. Not bad.

0.25 l bottle, 5.4 %. Hazy yellow color with creamy head. Sweetish, honeyish and spicy aroma with clove, pepper and cumin. Grainy flavor with some bitterness, some astringency, bread, grapefruit, pepper and clove. Fruity-bitter and grainy finish. 2 years old bottle.

Bottle thansk to Knut. What the hell is spelt. Aroma is Wheaty, tart fruit and apricots. Taste is simialr very wheaty, some malty type caramalt, decent finish. Id have thought it a belgiun wit.

25 cl bottle. Something different, but I am not convinced. Very light. Wheaty, a little citrus tang, but too watery. Cloudy, light yellow.

Deep yellow cloudy colour, very very dizzy when you put on the glass acidiness go all around so you have to be carefull a bit. Dry finish. Very nice beer.
